boston. we are starting to see signs of people's lives slowly returning to normal. >> reporter: yeah. that's right, allen. they are taking, you know, the developments today as good news here in boston. somewhat. the investigation is moving forward and people are feeling better about being outside. in particular, merchants have had a chance to get back to work. >> reporter: words spread quickly around copley square that something was going on a suspect in the bombing has been identifyed. >> seeing this news on the tv now means a lot to us to my customers and to my partners, you know. the whole area has just been -- yesterday you couldn't walk down here. i couldn't walk to my own restaurant. it was a crime scene. >> reporter: tony is one of the lucky ones. much of boylston street is a crime scene. at least he is back in business. he had to force his customers out when the blast hit. >> we had to evacuate out the

back door and people, you know, didn't even finish their drinks and their food and we had to escort them out the back door. we had to be out of the building in about 15 minutes. >> reporter: the break in the case came via surveillance video. federal investigators analyzing much of it frame by frame. tony says it's been a rough 48 hours. >> we're a tough town, boston. we'll bounce back from this. >> reporter: yeah, like i said, people feeling better. this case is far from being solved. but to that end, they are putting out now some rewards. starting to see $50,000 rewards even more money in some cases. police and firefighters have put together their own reward fund and we'll talk about that coming up at 6:30. reporting live from boston, i'm ken bastida, kpix 5. >> ken, obviously, security tight there in boston. but tomorrow the president comes to town. have you seen any signs that it's tightening up because of that? >> reporter: you know, the only

thing we saw today was just a reluctance by, you know, federal investigators to really talk much about who this guy is or what he was doing and exactly, you know, what they know about the case. as far as the president's visit, they haven't had too much advance information coming from the feds or from investigators about that. and certainly, you know, security here is tight enough for everybody. anybody including the president of the united states. >> they will keep details to themselves. ken bastida, thanks. kpix 5's ann notarangelo shows us how a community is rallying behind a bay area's sixth grader injured in the boston attack. ann. >> reporter: and juliette, mountain mike's is one of just a handful of restaurants and businesses in martinez holding fundraisers for aaron hern's family. the hern family is very well known in this area. they have done a lot for the community. and now it's complete strangers who are asking, what can i do? >> the whole town is rallying around aaron and his family. >> reporter: the patrons have joined the effort to raise

money for 11-year-old aaron hern and his family. aaron's leg was hit by a bomb shrapnel at the boston marathon finish line. his mother said he was back in surgery today and doctors are optimistic but he has a fever and the family is worried about infection. their friends and neighbors in martinez don't want them to worry about anything else. >> i just reached out to my community and said, you know, we have to help them. >> reporter: rocks on main raised $5,000 last night with donations still coming in. this weekend seven family owned restaurants will continue the effort. >> it's a small family oriented town. >> reporter: the herns are all about family. both teach at alhambra high where fundraisers are being organized as well as at martinez junior high where aaron goes to school. instead of asking how did this happen, people in this town are asking, how can i help? >> it's just about doing, right, not just about sitting

feeling helpless. >> reporter: nicole degeorgio lives next door to the herns. >> this is a family that has given and given and given through community service and through their own occupations. we need to help them, in turn. >> reporter: degeorge i don't, degeorgio is a photographer and offering photographs this weekend. >> i think community involvement is lacking in society. >> reporter: the compass star is donating 100% of evening sales until closing for aaron's medical care or after care. the family says things are stressful because aaron is starting to remember everything and is upset about a little boy who was next to him that. boy is fine. but growing up in a town like martinez, you can see where aaron's compassion comes from. >> we're in a small town with a big heart. >> reporter: and you wonder how after going through all this aaron is going to view the world. maybe he will remember all the acts of kindness shown his

family in the weeks and months ahead. >> i have a feeling this is just the start of many fundraising efforts in the town. >> reporter: yeah. you're absolutely right. i was talking to the superintendent of schools. there's a bank account being set up. they are talking about a marathon relay, a concert maybe. there's more ahead. if people are interested in the fundraisers already set up, go to our website, kpix.com, click on "news." >> thank you. and we'll have continuing coverage of the boston marathon bombings on kpix 5 and kpix.com. in just a few minutes, how amateur detectives are posting pictures and looking for leads in the case. checking bay area headlines, a neighbor helped rescue someone from this burning home in san jose this afternoon. fire broke out on ruby avenue near mount pleasant road just after 2:00. four people living in the home are displaced tonight. no injuries reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. san francisco police are

questioning a student who used a stun gun on the classmate. it happened this morning at the international studies academy. police say a girl brought in the device. a classmate, a boy, wanted to take a closer look. there was apparently some kind of tussle and the boy was zapped on the wrist. he wasn't injured. school officials say the girl will face disciplinary action. also in san francisco, not exactly the great escape but two boys managed to break out of their cell in san francisco's juvenile hall sometime last night. they squeezed through a tiny one-foot window and somehow got around a 20-foot barbed wire fence. the boys are age 12 and 16. they were in a unit reserved for lower risk youth. new at 6:00 oakland's mayor is asking the city to pay for more cops. we are getting our first look at jean quan's proposed budget. but what's not included in her proposal is causing some hesitation. phil matier with how these funds could be divvied up. phil. >> reporter: that's right.

it's still going to be a fight where the money goes. and here's why. check it out. >> what we are presenting today in my time was probably one of the best budgets i have been able to present. >> reporter: that was oakland mayor jean quan hours ago saying after years of cuts and layoffs, the city now has enough money to start four new police academy classes in the next two year, a move that could put some 70 more cops on the streets of this crime- wracked city. >> right now most officers spend about so minutes out of their end -- 10 minutes out of their entire 10-hour shift being pro-active. we want to change that. > in two years we'll have our police force back up to almost 700 officers. >> reporter: that leaves us short, doesn't it? >> oh, yeah. but that's not the police department that oakland deserves but it is moving us in the right direction. >> reporter: the mayor's budgets also calls for an end to furlough days. those are unpaid days off that closed many city libraries and other city services for 11 days last year.

and that's good news for people like gardner andrew church who saw their pay drop by about 10%. >> it would be wonderful. i mean, i would see it on my check, i mean,. >> there is hard work ahead, pension and healthcare does. >> reporter: those rising costs have union leaders saying, they want to see the fine print before they make a final call. >> if they turn around at the table and take away either equally or greater in another area, such as benefits or healthcare, that's not dealing fairly. they are saying i'm going to give you 6 and take away 8. >> reporter: that math could still haunt the mayor and the city council. juliette, what we're doing here is what we're seeing as well in other bay area cities is that the debts of yesterday health and pension costs are still haunting these cities so even

though the economy is coming back and money is coming in, a lot of it is already spent. >> if we go back to the police, what does this mean for the sheriff's patrols that oakland has been bringing in to help out the police? >> reporter: good point. good point. as you know, they have been contracting out with the alameda county sheriff's department and the highway patrol for that matter to put extra cops on the streets and patrol. those patrols are going to stay in place. they have the money to keep them there until these other cops get out of the academies. so that's a good piece of news there, as well. thanks for bringing that up. >> all right, phil matier, thank you. definitely social media has changed police work. >> coming up, how private citizens are combing through countless photos searching for a clue to capture the boston marathon bomber. >> i think anytime you try to take out a critical infrastructure, i would say that's sabotage. >> the new incentive to capture the vandals who crippled phone service in the south bay. >> it has been rush hour in the sky over the past several days as we have had a strong north

wind but that wind is about to go away. warm weather is moving in. your warm forecast is coming up. coming up at 6:30, why a bay area executive is so distraught after he saw the device used in the boston marathon bombing.

apparant case of sabotage.. utility equipment in the soh bay. but kpix 5's len ramirez sa: chefs investigators say there are no suspects in the apparent case of sabotage on utility equipment in the south bay. but kpix 5's len ramirez says there's a new incentive to find the culprit. rouse a big 20 -- a big reward now being offered by at&t for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for what now appear to be very well

coordinated planned attacks. a $250,000 reward is being offered. >> i think anytime you try to take out a critical infrastructure, i would say that's sabotage. >> reporter: santa clara county sheriff lori smith says two attacks again power and telecom utilities yesterday were almost certainly done by the same person or persons. >> i think it was an intentional act. i think someone went to a lot of work to do it. so i don't know what kind of sabotage, but certainly it was an attempt to take down phones, data and power. >> reporter: it started after 1 a.m. when someone climbed down a manhole and cut fiber optic cables under monterey highway near san jose. then a high-powered rifle was used to shoot up transformers near the metcalf substation a half mile from the first incident. the suspects were gone and the damage was done. >> it initially impacted the 911 system. >> reporter: the city of gilroy lost its 911 system for the whole day but continued service on a backup system. in morgan hill, you couldn't make a phone call.

>> phone service was disrupted or completely not available for many of the morgan hill residents. >> tried to call my wife. she couldn't answer the phone. >> reporter: thousands of at&t and verizon cell phone customers as well as banks and other institutions had no service. >> take out banks, take out the 911 numbers, it's horrible. >> reporter: the disruptions were similar to an incident in 2009, when suspects entered a manhole to cut fiber optic lines in south san jose. no suspects were arrested. >> very close with san jose on this also to see if there may be a relationship. >> reporter: in that 2009 case, and the case yesterday, investigators said that whoever did it, allen, had some inside knowledge of how these systems worked because there's a lot of cables underground. think as for the other attack on the power system, it appears that whoever was doing that had a knowledge of what they were doing because the shots were

very well placed at those transformers. >> beyond their knowledge, do police have any other kind of suspect profile? >> well, of course cyber and physical attacks is a big national security concern all over the u.s. right now from the department of homeland security. but at this point the sheriff doesn't think terrorists either domestic or terrorism some foreign country is at work here. they need to develop that suspect profile but again, whoever was doing this knew what they were doing and had a very good plan. >> all right. len ramirez, len, thank you. what may have been one of the more photographed crimes in history and immediately boston police turned to social media for clues about the bombings. but that effort hasn't stopped with police. mike sugerman shows us the work of the new armchair investigators. reporter: more cell videos and pictures, maybe hundreds of thousands now on the web, one who goes by 4 chan think tank now han 1.2 million hits and that's doubled in just three hours.

it has detailed photos of several people with backpacks in and around the marathon finish line. this is a whole new world of police work not involving police. >> definitely social media has changed police work. >> reporter: sfpd officers say all you have to do is go back to the world series celebration last year when a muni bus was torched. people sent in all kinds of video and pictures. >> subsequently they were identified and arrested and are held responsible for the crimes that they committed. >> reporter: because of that, police started a website known as the line-up which features video of crimes sent in by the public and it's already resulted in arrests. >> it's a positive step and a good step forward for police. >> reporter: a digital rights group in washington sued when cell phone service was shut down during a bart protest last year. police using cell video? okay, he says. but there are concerns.

>> we need to be very careful about protecting people's privacy and protecting our respect for the law and due process and not setting what could be some really bad precedent. >> reporter: police were asking to copy people's memory cards at the boston airport before leaving town. they didn't have to. could they feel compelled? could video not posted on the web be subpoenaed? could people be suspects when they are not? it's a brave new world being sorted out. mike sugerman kpix 5. social media was also used by police to get messages from the victims to the families, too. paul is here and we were just talking about the wind. it was extremely windy in the east bay this morning. >> sunshine kind of tempered by the wind. it's comfortable but you get in the winds not so much. as the wind dies down, though, which it will tonight, finally, we are going to get some very

warm temperatures. wait until you see the extended forecast. truckloads full of sunshine. here's a peek outside. i'd like to show you this picture of the golden gate because this is a spot april, may, where we'll see fog creeping in, in the afternoon and stays around all day long. sometimes there's not a hint of fog anywhere, nor is there in my forecast for the next seven days. zero fog at the coast and golden gate. hayward 72 today. napa 72. concord and gilroy 71. san jose almost to 70. downtown san francisco up 5 degrees up to 65. nothing coming down from the sky. kpix 5 hi-def doppler is dry. there's a good reason for it because there's a really big area of high pressure building in. the difference between high pressure to our west and low pressure to our east has caused the wind but now as low pressure moves away that pressure gradient difference will get narrow and there will be a breeze tomorrow. that's it. wind not a problem after this evening. that high pressure dome is getting closer to us now and getting stronger going to expand its influence. what that means for you?

more sunshine, less wind, much warmer temperatures. an offshore wind will begin tomorrow. it's going to stick around for 7 to 10 straight days. each day warm, each day sunny, each day with zero fog. and until i see something moving in this pattern we'll keep calling for mild weather. i don't see it changing for a while. tomorrow livermore 77 no wind. san jose 77, no wind. downtown san francisco, far less winds tomorrow with a high of 68. napa 78. fairfield 80. mountain view 76 degrees with sunshine tomorrow. well into the 80s away from the water, approaching 80 near the bay on the weekend and you at the coast will likely hit the low 70s with full sunshine starting monday. meteorologist roberta gonzales tells us we are coming up on a big show in the sky. she is going to tell us how to see it. >> reporter: yes, we have mobile weather in the hills of oakland. we are here at chabot space and science center. i have been here for the past couple of hours. the temperature has dropped 6

full degrees. it's now at 61 degrees. the winds have dialed back under 5 miles per hour. we calm up here because even though we have clear -- we came up here because even though we have clear skies in the forecast, we have showers in the offering. we decided to talk to our science educator. this is [ indiscernible ] da gupta. >> this meteor shower will be exciting for a couple of years. this particular shower in the past has been known though throw out 100 meteors per hour. this is the lyrids. >> reporter: this should be extra special because in january the last time we were up here we had cloud cover and cold overnight temperatures. what can we expect this time? >> clear skies and warm weather. it's going to be great. >> reporter: so give us some visibility tips. >> so a couple of things to

take into account. most importantly are location. you want to get away from the city lights. that ambient light will dampen good viewing and we are coming up on a full moon so just after the peak of the shower we are going to see a full moon three days later so that will interfere a little bit. you should be able to see meteors about 10:00 but the very best time is going to be just before dawn when the moon has set and we have the darkest skies. >> while you pack your chairs and blankets make sure you look straight up. >> exactly right. so meteors can be really anywhere in the sky. >> reporter: can people come here to watch? >> absolutely. we have our observatory deck open from 7:30 to 10:30 on friday and saturday nights. and we're also going to be a night hike around the center. >> reporter: very cool. but dress warmly. the lyrids meteor shower takes place from now all the way through the weekend peaking this weekend. reporting for mobile weather, roberta gonzales, kpix 5. a bay area icon is bigger than ever. the world-renowned san
